Santa Barbara – Puerto Vallarta Sister City Committee Raises Funds to Donate Food

The Rotary Club of Santa Barbara North and the Santa Barbara – Puerto Vallarta Sister City Committee are reaching out to help neighbors of our destination who have been affected by loss of income because of the COVID-19 pandemic and shutdowns.

Currently, the Sister Cities group has sent 13,000 USD to feed 500 families—about 3,000 people—in the Volcanes community.

The Volcanes Food Bank was established in the beginning of March, 2020, to help meet the needs of low-income families in this neighborhood and the surrounding areas of Puerto Vallarta during the pandemic.

One donation of 25 USD can feed a family of four for a month with basic foods such as beans, rice, lentils, potatoes, tortillas, eggs and cooking oil, among others.

Founded by Yvonne Pedersen, a Rotarian and Sister City member, this new fundraiser titled Operations Bust Out was created to help the Puerto Vallarta food bank, while children ages 5 to 12 from Goleta, California stay active with baton twirling and dance classes.

Although there is no fixed fee for the four-week sessions, a tax-deductible donation of 50 USD to the Santa Barbara – Puerto Vallarta Sister City Committee is welcome to support this foodbank project.

“We started advertising in Vallarta Lifestyles because we really liked the quality. Actually, it is still the best magazine of Puerto Vallarta, because of its spectacular articles and photos. Thanks to its distribution points at famous hotels, it is the ideal publication to reach the clients we are looking for.”

“Among other things, Vallarta Lifestyles stands out for its strong presence throughout our destination, from five stars hotels to brand new condominiums, where they finally find the type of clients that we look for. For all of us is very important to be in print media to strengthen our advertising strategy and this magazine is essential to achieve it.”

"Vallarta Lifestyles is very similar to The Agency, we have a similar client base, [residents and tourists] who seek for information about the topics that are featured in each issue; lifestyle, restaurants, and architecture, among others. And, because the way your magazines are located, we can really capture the clients we want."
